Thanks for your reply Mr. Pineywoods. I like the cabin. How did you dry them, did they move much after construction?
No problem at all with movement, but I did have a problem from shrinkage. The door and window openings were framed with dry 2X6. I had to knock them out and cut off 3/4 inch after the logs dried. I put everything up green, like less than a week from cutting the tree till assembled..There's a one inch spline between adjacent logs and big spikes through the tails.
